Abstract
To improve the performance and reliability of grooved gate MOSFETs, the eff ects of a concave corner on the characteristics of deep sub-micrometre groo ved-gate PMOSFETs are studied using the device simulator MEDICI. The result s of our study indicate that the concave corner of a recessed gate influenc es device characteristics strongly. With an increase of the concave corner, the threshold voltage increases, the current driving capability is improve d and the hot-carrier effect is decreased.
